Michael Raz - PeerSpot reviewer
Consultant at Discount Bank
Centralized data controls have protected sensitive banking workloads and support strict SLA targets
The implementation of Oracle Database Vault can be simple, but if you want to provide DB services for more complex applications, it gets complex. You can start with a simple deployment, but if you aim for real volumes, response times, and work with many applications, the deployment can be quite complex. It really depends. The time frame for deployment of Oracle Database Vault depends on various factors, and it can vary significantly for different solutions and complexities, making it impossible to give a specific number. In an environment, implementation could take as little as two weeks, and I do not think it can be more than that—the maximum, I think.

Data protection platform has secured sensitive test data and supports confident project work
In my opinion, Protegrity's Data Protection Platform has really worked well and has done the best work. What it lacks is quality features, but we cannot expect that unless in profiling types of tools. Masking is layered well in different types of data. I can say that the system works well. I have not had any downsides when working with this platform; most of the time it lags down only when we are working on large volumes of data, and that's when we can experience minimal lags. The needed improvement is that the system can be upgraded to be faster and more flexible when it comes to speed, so it can handle large volumes of data without any challenge.
